Discount Sport Nutrition Franchise

Discount Sport Nutrition Franchise

Discount Sport Nutrition is a franchise for a store selling sport supplements. It started in 1996 as an online store selling supplements at reasonable prices.

They shipped it nationwide and some outside the country. They came to realize that some customers are not sure about what to get and they needed someone to talk to in person to decide on what they really need. They then opened their first retail store in Denton, Texas in 1998. The second one opened was in Tulsa, Oklahoma. In 2001, the two locations were owned individually and they started franchising to open up more retail stores. Currently, they also have stores in Norman, Oklahoma; Lubbock, Texas, and Virginia Beach, Virginia. Since they buy everything in big bulks, they are able to get it in much lower prices and they pass on that savings to the customers.

You need to have a net worth of at least $50,000 and a total liquid asset of at least $25,000. You can expect to invest about $92,000 to $186,000. Franchise fee is $25,000 with an on-going royalty fee of 5%. This is for a renewable 10 year term agreement. They also offer franchise for kiosks or express stores.
